I have a 1885 low wall chambered in 25-20 single shot. I believe the tang sight that is on it is a Lyman #1. It is not threaded for eye cups and has a fairly large hole. I don't feel like I'm getting the consistency I would like with the sight alignment (although I'm shooting pretty good...

Recently traded for a 1885 Winchester Low Wall in .25-20 single shot. I have aquired plenty of brass, but I'm having trouble finding any bullets, or the right mold. Anybody know where to find .257 dia 85-87 gr bullets or a mold?

I'm looking for a lightweight 20 ga shotgun for squirrel hunting with dogs. I usually carry a .22, but at times a young dog needs the squirrels knocked out to it, and I need to carry a shotgun. Especially late season when the squirrels seem to timber out more often. What would be good choices...

I have two treeing feist pups that will be ready to go this squirrel season. I need some input on building a custom 10/22. My main 2 criteria are light weight and moa accuracy. I want a rifle that I can sling on my back and not know it's there until I need to knock a squirrel or coon out to...

I am going to TX to bowhunt whitetails for a week the first of Dec. Myself and two buddies were offered an opportunity we could not refuse. Rather than coming home after our hunt in TX, we are going to NM to hunt elk for 5 days. We have rifle tags, so we will have the option of bow or rifle...

I want one bad. I guess it will be my next gun purchase. I own cap and ball revolvers, modern revolvers, single and double action autos, flintlock rifles, bolt action rifles, semi-auto rifles, single shots, shotguns of all types from Belgium to Japan, but I have never owned a lever gun. I...

I have a Taurus mod 63 .22lr that I recently won in a Shriner's raffle. Took it to the range saturday to sight in and plink. The only .22lr ammo I had was some Winchester RN .22lr (x22lr). At 25 yards, I was getting a consistent group width of about 1/2", but vertical group width of about...

I am trying to find some Winchester .22 Long Rifle Power Point ammo. Everywhere I have checked is out and doesn't know when they will or if they will get any more. Anyone know of an online ammo supplier that might have some? or anywhere I might get some?

I know the colt designs are more prone to percussion caps getting in places that cause problems, but is it a bigger issue with the .36's than .44's? I really seemed to have trouble getting the fired caps out of the way. I'm going to try some Tresso nipples with smaller touch holes and see if...

This afternoon I rushed out to the range to try my new 51 Navy (uberti). Got a target up and had about an hour of good shooting light. Fired a cap on each cylinder and poured 20gr of fffg topped with a lubed pistol wad into each cylinder. Put the cylinder back in and rammed the first .375...

I have a SA Mil-Spec. I don't like the way the thumb safety feels on it. Also, when I sweep it down "off" it travels beyond the plunger/tube then pops back up when pressure is released. Is this likely a thumb safety fitting issue? It functions fine, but never has been right.

My Uberti 1851 Navy arrived today. This is my first Uberti and I was pleased with the overall fit and finish. It seems a notch above my Pietta revolvers. I love the feel of the Navy. Everything seemed to function the way it should, so I set in tearing it apart for a good cleaning. Tear down...

Last night I had my Pietta 1860 Army out and noticed the loading lever retainer was cocked in its dovetail. It was barely caught on one side and would have eventually fallen out. I took a copper drift and tapped it out. The retainer to dovetail fit is pretty bad and it does'nt fit the...

I just ordered a Uberti 51 Navy revolver. The only C&B revolvers I own and have experience with are .44's (58 Remmy & 60 Colt Army both by Pietta). What can I expect from the .36 Navy? Would you say they are typically more or less accurate than the .44's?

Thought I posted this earlier, don't know what happened. Anyway, I have a Pietta 58 Rem and a Pietta 60 Colt Army. I did some shooting this weekend and have the fever for another revolver. I was thinking about either a Walker, 3rd Dragoon, or 51 Colt Navy. Which would you add next and what...

What power scope is necessary to see targets well at 100 yards? I don't want to put much into a spotting scope, I just need something adequate for the shooting range.

Hi folks! I've been away from the forum for the past year. I've really gotten into traditional bowhunting (longbow) over the past 5 or 6 years and have completely given up rifle hunting. Well, I have never seen so many nice bucks just out of bow range in my life until these last few years...

He has disappeared from the forums.

I need to improve the trigger on my MK II. It is too heavy and also has quite a bit of creep. I took the sear and hammer out last night and smoothed up the sear. It helped the creep a little but not much. I'm a little leary of trying to do much to the hammer notch and it looks good. I know...

Springfield Armory Parkerized Mil-Spec I put 200 rds through it Thursday evening with no malfunctions. I am going to have a trigger job done and a long trigger installed and I will also install better sights (haven't decided what yet). Other than that, I don't plan any other mods for now.
